With Krista gone and his finances tight, Blake finishes his laundry and decides to get a falafel wrap from a halal food cart, despite Krista’s past food poisoning making her avoid such carts. While waiting in line, he senses someone watching him and eventually turns to see a short, scruffy man by a newsstand staring in his direction.

Blake recognizes the man’s distinctive white baseball cap with a cartoon penguin and realizes he was one of the prospective tenants who viewed their spare room before Whitney moved in—the same man who wanted to drill a hole in the wall and was asked to leave. Blake believes he has seen the man at least once more since that day.

Annoyed, Blake steps out of line to confront the man and asks if there is a problem. The man initially ignores him, then looks up and says, “What you did to Whitney was disgusting.” Blake is stunned and demands clarification, but the man holds his gaze and repeats the accusation in essence by refusing to back down.

Blake notes he is physically larger and feels a surge of anger as he steps closer, prompting the man to panic and scurry away down the street. The encounter confirms Blake was indeed being watched, but he is left unsettled because he does not know the man’s connection to Whitney or what the accusation specifically refers to.
